SEPTEMBER 1, 2003 - Monday Night Raw

WWE.com announced beforehand that - on the heels of Summerslam - this week's RAW and SmackDown would kick off tournaments to crown #1 contenders for Unforgiven to take on Triple H and Brock Lesnar (respectively).

The show kicked off with Val Venis taking on William Regal. Regal controlled almost the entire match before putting Venis out with the Power of the Punch.

Up next, Christian takes on Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer came within inches of victory after a piledriver, but in the end, the ECW Original fell victim to the Unprettier.

The Battle Of North Carolina is next, with Matt Hardy Version 1.0 taking on the Hurricane. Excellent back-and-forth contest, with each man getting a couple of near falls. Down the stretch, the ref took a bump, and Hardy took advantage, laying out Hurricane with the ring bell to steal a victory. Not a good night for the babyfaces so far.

Evolution's Ric Flair and Batista are up next to defend their World Tag Team Titles in an elimination match against The Dudley Boyz, La Resistance (consisting of Dupree and Grenier), and the team of Scott Steiner and Test.

Steiner and Test demonstrate some teamwork until D-Von Dudley manages to catch Steiner with a spinebuster and a quick elimination. Batista replaces Steiner and goes on a rampage before tagging in WOO the Nature Boy. Flair continues as a house of fire until D-Von manages to tag in Dupree. Finally, the numbers game proves to much and Flair gets pinned following a double backdrop from La Res. More back-and-forth action, as we're guaranteed new champions now.

After the break, D-Von kicks out of a pin attempt by Dupree, finally turning momentum back into his team's favor. Bubba Ray sneaks into the ring, and a 3D later, The Dudley Boyz are the new World Tag Team Champions!

Backstage, Triple H says that he will walk out of Unforgiven with the World Title, no matter who wins the tournament.

The tournament starts with Booker T taking on Chris Jericho. The two go back-and-forth for fifteen minutes. Not about fifteen minutes. Exactly fifteen minutes. We know it was fifteen minutes, because the time limit expired, resulting in a draw. After the match, Booker extended a hand to Y2J, who then laid him out with a cheap shot before clamping on the Walls of Jericho.

After the ring is cleared, Eric Bischoff appears on the TitanTron and announces that the two would face off again at Unforgiven!

Our next tournament match was a battle between two fan favorites - Rob Van Dam and The Rock! These two put on a match as exciting as everyone espected, resulting in a Rock Bottom for Mister Monday Night. After the match, RVD extended a hand to Rock, who - after seeing what happened after the previous match - was extremely cautious. Eventually, he accepted. The Rock advances to next week!

Backstage, Goldberg is warming up, when he's confronted by the Big Red Machine Kane. The two monsters go head-to-head before Kane walks off laughing.

Kane's out next for his match against Shawn Michaels! It's announced that - due to the draw in the Booker/Jericho match - the winner of this match receives a bye to the finals in two weeks. The two battle for quite a while, each getting in a fair amount of offense. In the end, though, Kane's power was just too great, and the big man advances to the finals with a chokeslam!

Our main event of the evening is to determine who will face The Rock next week in the semifinals. It pits the Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton against the monstrous Goldberg. The cocky "Legend Killer" couldn't overcome the beast that is Goldberg, ending the show with his shoulders pinned to the canvas.

Next week, it's Goldberg vs. The Rock! The winner will face Kane the following week for a shot at Triple H's World Title at Unforgiven. Triple H will face off against his old rival Shawn Michaels in a non-title match! Can Michaels make up for a disappointing loss to Kane against the World Champion? Also, how will Booker T react to Jericho's cheap shot? The two will be forced to co-exist as they take on Evolution's Randy Orton and Batista! All that, plus Rob Van Dam taking on Kane, new Tag Team Champions, and Divas action. You don't want to miss RAW next week on Spike TV!

Also, don't miss WWE SmackDown! Thursday night on UPN. Brock Lesnar will certainly be watching as Big Show, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, Kurt Angle, and Undertaker kick off a tournament to determine his Unforgiven opponent!
